A temple to practicality, Lion Ox, a specialist in bathroom renovations, was tasked with transforming this outdated bathroom into a modern haven for bathing, accompanied with all the functionality a busy family needs.
Though limited in space, the homeowners desired a separate freestanding tub and walk-in shower. Given the size parameters, the dilemma was solved with the inclusion of a back-to-wall bath that saves on floor space. A single-basin vanity further ensured that all the client’s wishes were fulfilled within the space allocated to the main bathroom.
When it came to design, the owners wanted a neutral space that would stand the test of time and provide a relaxing atmosphere. Large-format porcelain tiles in a lightly veined pattern of warm grey and white were laid across the floor and up three of the walls, all the way to the ceiling. This solid foundation was complemented by a single feature wall of white finger tiles behind the bath. The textural effect produced by the linear feature tiles adds visual interest but maintains the calm feel of the room.
The vertical pattern formed by the finger tiles is reflected in the bathroom’s single vanity and off set by the soft curves of the single round basin. The grooved vanity front keeps the pattern flowing while contributing additional depth to the design to make it contemporary yet timeless. A sleek mirrored cabinet above the vanity affords the inhabitants additional face-level storage. Finishing off the design with matt black tapware that grounds the light-hued palette, this bathroom is a contrasting scheme softened by textural features that create a simple yet elegant bathroom.
